Psalms 8

1 Fún adarí orin. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ti gittiti. Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa, Olúwa wa, orúkọ rẹ̀ ti ní ìyìn tó ní gbogbo ayé! Ìwọ ti gbé ògo rẹ ga ju àwọn ọ̀run lọ.

“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with the gittith. A psalm of David.” O Jehovah, our Lord! How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Thou hast set thy glory above the heavens.

2 Láti ẹnu ọmọ ọwọ́ àti ọmọ ọmú ni o ti yan ìyìn nítorí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, láti pa àwọn ọ̀tá àti àwọn olùgbẹ̀san lẹ́nu mọ́.

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained praise, To put thine adversaries to shame, And to silence the enemy and avenger.

3 Nígbà tí mo ro ọ̀run rẹ, iṣẹ́ ìka rẹ, òṣùpá àti ìràwọ̀, tí ìwọ tí gbé kalẹ̀,

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained:

4 kí ni ènìyàn tí ìwọ ń rò nípa rẹ̀, àní ọmọ ènìyàn tí ìwọ ń ṣe ìtọ́jú rẹ̀?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him, And the son of man, that thou carest for him?

5 Ìwọ ṣe é ní onírẹ̀lẹ̀ díẹ̀ ju Ọlọ́run lọ, ìwọ sì dé e ní adé ògo àti ọlá.

Yet thou hast made him little lower than God; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Ìwọ mú un jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ; ìwọ sì fi ohun gbogbo sí abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀:

Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet, —

7 àwọn agbo àgùntàn àti àwọn màlúù, àti ẹranko igbó,

All sheep and oxen, Yea, and the beasts of the forest;

8 ẹyẹ ojú ọrun, àti ẹja inú Òkun, àti ohun tí ń wẹ nínú ipa Òkun.

The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, And whatever passeth through the paths of the deep.

9 Olúwa, Olúwa wa, orúkọ rẹ ti ní ìyìn tó ní gbogbo ayé!

O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!
